Chapter 295 Cooking
Ye Qinlei opened the formation with a wave of her hand, and opened the courtyard door without putting down the firewood on her arm in the process.
It just so happened that the courtyard gate was relatively large, so I just carried the firewood in and carried the frame on my back to measure it.
The sisters put their money on the other side of the courtyard wall, where they built a specially built shed to store firewood.
They put down their backpacks. In fact, the baskets only contained very light wild vegetables.
Herbal medicine.
Put the herbs and wild vegetables in the backpacks into the space again, and put the two baskets in the kitchen.
They gave themselves a purification spell.
Now they felt refreshed and didn’t even go into the room. After leaving the courtyard, they were going to their grandma’s house.
Looking at them with empty hands, they actually don’t want others to see them carrying things, and don’t want others to guess.
Although it seems a bit bad to go to grandma's house empty-handed like this, they are still children who have not grown up. Although they have gone to the countryside to become educated youth, it is fine that our own family knows our own family. Why should we let others know that we have taken things?
"Grandma, we are back."
Grandma was at home at this time. She was actually busy with her own land, and she also wanted to come out to earn work points. She was just a son, and her daughter-in-law asked her to look after the house.
There were no children at home when they came in. I heard that the children had gone to cut pig grass.
I didn’t see it when I came back just now. Maybe they were not walking on this side of the mountain.
Some people will still look for the hill on the other side, the hill on the opposite side.
"You're back? Why have you been gone for just one day? You didn't come back for lunch at noon."
Grandma's kind face and reproachful eyes made them afraid that they would be hungry.
"Grandma, you don't know about us yet? Will we be hungry? We brought cakes, and we can cook them in the mountains."
"Grandma, we have all grown up No need to worry, look what we brought back.”
The two sisters had discussed quietly just now. They took out too many things and couldn't cook them all at once, so they might as well leave them alone.
So he took out two pheasants and two hares.
Of course they also want to eat fish. The family prepared the fish for them. They dug a small pit in the jade pendant space and put some fish in this pit so that they could eat it and kill it whenever they wanted. eat.
There is also a river here. If you can’t reach the river, you are too far away from the river.
I got two sea fish, each weighing about three pounds, which can be steamed or braised.
Neither of them knew what kind of fish it was. After all, they didn't grow up near the sea and didn't know much about the types of fish.
If you eat some, do you care what kind of fish it is?
They are for eating, not for selling.
“So much food? Let’s keep it for you to eat.”
Ms. Chen quietly said to the two sisters, let them keep the good things for themselves. She has everything at home, so there is no need to put anything away. Bring it here.
As a mother-in-law, a mother, and a grandma, although I know that everyone in my family is good, I am afraid that some people will be overly concerned.
It was still early, but the sisters helped kill a chicken to make soup, fish and a rabbit.
Although there are many people eating, there is only one chicken, two fish and one rabbit, which is already very rich.
Rabbit is also cooked with potatoes.
Put carrots into the chicken soup and some medicinal herbs.
While they were working, they quietly opened the formation in the room.
Don't let idlers come in and see, and don't let the smell of meat cooking in the kitchen spread.
Ms. Chen has two granddaughters to help, and she never rests, feeding chickens and pigs.
Also cut down pigweed.
Today, I asked about dinner, and it was Ye Qinlei and Ye Yiran who were the chefs.
The kitchen and stove in my mother-in-law's house are different from those in other houses. They also use firewood.
There is a stove, which can boil water when cooking, and is connected to a large copper pot. In this era, copper and iron are relatively difficult to buy.
Here you can see two large iron pots, which are convenient for cooking. One copper pot is connected to the cooking pot and can be used to heat water. The other copper pot can be used to cook rice and heat the soup pot inside. Yes, just burn two pots and you can cook the meal.
There is a small stove outside the house, and there is a large ceramic pot. I use it to cook pig vegetables and rice bran, and to feed the pigs and chickens.
Of course, there are some people who do not cook pig food, so it is difficult to fatten the pigs raised in this way.
Pigs that use rice bran, main course flavor, and are raised without feed have a better meat texture, but others can sell them after raising them for three months, while they may raise them for half a year or a year.
It costs a lot of labor, and all you earn is labor costs.
What they are raising now are task pigs, and those who can raise them will be free and benefit from them.
Grandma’s family raises two fat pigs, one is a task pig and the other is an extra pig. The extra pigs can be sold for money or killed for meat.
Most people will sell it for money. If you kill yourself and eat the meat, it will be too conspicuous. There is no benefit in being a conspicuous bag.
Besides, if the brigade has enough missions, one or two will be left to kill, and then the pork can be divided.
When Ye Qinlei was cooking, she observed her grandmother's movements and thought of the pigs and chickens they raised.
My younger brother said he wanted to give grandma and his family a jade pendant for breeding and planting, but he didn’t bring it back to them.
She thought about the pig grass in the jade pendant space. These are their sisters. She went up the mountain today and thought about the job of cutting pig grass in the future.
There is a lot of pigweed stored in the space. The job of cutting pigweed may not be available now, so I can only work with others.
Come to think of it, more crops can be grown in the space.
Although they had planted some vegetables before, the seeds had already sprouted.
Some of the vegetable plots have not been completely planted. When I saw my grandma’s pigs, I thought of growing a variety of sweet potatoes and feeding the pigs with sweet potato leaves.
You can also grow potatoes and corn.
You can eat various melons and seedlings, and you can use melon seedlings to feed pigs.
The more thought is that these vegetables and grains planted in the space can be harvested faster than outside, and can also be used for farming.
There are many cubs of cultured species in my space, and they are fed with endless vegetable leaves and rice bran grown in the space.
As for using corn for farming, it is a waste of food and is not feasible.
In an era when food was scarce, many people threshed and milled rice without sifting out the rice bran. No matter it hurt their throats or was unpalatable, they would eat the rice bran in order to survive.
At this time, it was difficult for people to feed themselves, let alone raising chickens and pigs.
In those years, many people stopped raising chickens and pigs.
It is only in the past two years that the situation has been good.
The Yao family, in the difficult years, knew earlier that there would be drought and famine, so they stocked up on food.
This is also because they have the background to secretly store food.
The two sisters have already cooked the food, and the family members have not yet left work. Only some children who were cutting pigweed have returned.
They smelled the smell of meat, and their greedy and drooling look made people sad and want to laugh at the same time.
Ye Qinlei gave out sweets and snacks to her cousins to give them some comfort.
......
"You're so good, let's go play!" Ye Qinlei waved to her cousins.
"Don't eat too much, or you won't be able to eat for a while."
Grandma said to her grandchildren.
The children went aside obediently.
It’s not that they don’t go to school. The primary school is in the village. They study for the first half of the day and work on a daily basis.
In junior high school, I go to school in the morning and work for half a day in the afternoon.
As for high school students, they can only live on campus and only have one and a half days to go home on Saturdays and Sundays.
These two days are Saturday and Sunday, and all the high school, junior high school and elementary school students are at home.
I also have older grandchildren. They are related. There are two older ones. My uncle’s eldest son works in the agricultural machinery factory in the county. Even though he is a temporary worker, he is very popular.
You can get more money and food than farming in the countryside!
My second uncle’s eldest daughter works in a knitting factory in the county, also as a temporary worker. As a girl, having a job is better than being in the countryside.
Both of their jobs were bought, and they were able to buy them with money, of course because of their connections.
However, they all graduated from high school and are only temporary workers for the time being. They can become regular workers if there is a chance.
Yao Hanxin’s two brothers are both married and have children. The eldest brother Yao Chenxu married the Chen family and currently has two sons and one daughter!
The second brother Yao Chenyao married Li and gave birth to three sons and one daughter.
The two elderly people at home had some underlying health problems before, but since they started practicing, their health has been great.
In the past, they were able to get full work points through force. Now that they can get full work points, they are as good as those strong laborers.
They had some gray hair before, but now their hair is completely black, which makes the couple look strange.
Why do they seem to be rejuvenated?
Did you use any secret recipe?
Of course there is no answer to this question. They can't tell others. Have they cultivated?
I can only tell others that their cheerful personality will make people younger and younger.
The person who asked the question..., who believes what you say?
We don’t have enough to eat, we don’t have warm clothes, and we can’t see when we are sick. We can only endure it. Can we be happy?
I envy the life of their family, I envy the people in their family who have jobs, I envy the people in their family... rejuvenating themselves...!
“Grandma, where is your private plot?”
Ye still understood what the second sister wanted to say. There were not many types of vegetables grown in space. The second sister wanted to grow vegetable seedlings in her grandma's private plot.
When she thought that the vegetables grown in her space had aura, she thought that the sweet potato seedlings could raise pigs with aura.
They can raise pigs and chickens in their yard, just build a simple place.
I didn’t think of raising pigs and chickens yesterday. I will ask my uncle during dinner to see if there are any piglets? Chicken, if you have it, it’s not too late to build it.
Raising two task pigs will give them a reason to weed the pigs and stop working.
The two sisters were very happy with this idea.
"You two have just arrived and you have no private space, right?"
Grandma thought that they had no vegetables to eat when they arrived, so it was not a problem to always eat wild vegetables.
Two people have exactly two pieces of land, enough to grow vegetables for them to eat.
“No, I’ll ask my uncle later.”
The sisters wanted to open a private plot not far from the house.
The lonely old man used to have his own land, but later that land became desolate.
Private land is allocated according to population. The land reclaimed by individuals is found to have planted more things.
The village unified land reclamation and divided the work among the members.
If you want to get more food, work hard.
Some people also quietly open up some wasteland on the river beach to grow vegetables.
This kind of vegetable looks like a wild vegetable. From a distance, it looks like a wild vegetable.
As long as no one is discovered when the people above come to check, the village turns a blind eye.
"Yao Sun, take your two cousins to their private plot."
The youngest kid who is in elementary school is also ten years old and happily takes his two cousins to their family's private plot.
Because the two families live together, the plot of land is relatively large.
Although the registered permanent residence of the former worker was moved out, the private land was not taken back.
Maybe it’s because family members do it, and others do it too, so no one has any objections.
Ye Qinlei discovered that there are many vegetables planted in the private plot, including Chinese cabbage, Chinese cabbage, celery, bitter wheat, lettuce, and cabbage. Now some of my melon seedlings have been raised, and some fruit seeds include strawberry seedlings. , papaya seedlings, watermelon, cantaloupe.
There are tomatoes, cucumbers, cucumbers, pumpkins, sweet potatoes, eggplants, and sweet potatoes.
Beans, snow peas, and peanuts were planted.
There are leeks, garlic, chives, and peppers. There are many kinds of peppers, spicy and not spicy. There are also some perillas growing in the fields.
You can dig up and eat buckwheat vegetables.
Wherever the two sisters walked, they collected one of each seedling. This was to save seeds.
One person put one tree into the space, and already hoped that grandma and the others would not know.
For sweet potatoes, just pick a few seedlings and plant them.
Because it is a portable space, they can get things done just by using their thoughts.
Of course my little cousin doesn’t know what he did secretly and quietly.
My little cousin thought that my cousin from the city didn’t understand all kinds of vegetables when she came back, so she introduced them to them in a squeaky voice.
Sisters..., cousin, we are also from the countryside. Before we came to the city, we were already sensible. Our family also grew these fruits and vegetables, and we still knew the vegetable seedlings.
When they went home, the people who went to work also left work. People who worked in the county and in the town all came back.
Everyone in my grandma’s family was at home. When they saw the two sisters coming back, they started to prepare food.
With so many people eating together, it is certainly delicious.
They make so many meat dishes and so many people eat them, there is no leftovers.
It feels so satisfying to eat fragrant meat, spiritual vegetables, and spiritual rice.
Everyone was full.
After having a full meal, the sisters asked their uncle about their previous plans to raise pigs and chickens, and about their own land. They also said that the sisters should work together and not share with others.
"You want to raise pigs. You two can only raise two, and chickens can only raise two. Should you raise one pig or two? There are piglets in the brigade, and chickens at home. To raise chickens and pigs, you must build a pig pen,
As for The private land, the private land for the lonely old man, is very close to where you live. As for your work,
You raise two pigs, just do the work of weeding pigs, and you can also provide money for your own family. The pig beats the pig grass ”
The uncle made the arrangements clearly, and the rest of the family just listened.
The sisters nodded, this was a good decision.
Originally I thought I would just do hogweed hunting and also have a good swim in several nearby mountains.
If there are no wild animals in the nearby mountains, they can go for a swim in the mountains farther away.
There is no more free work in the production team than hunting pigweed. Although the work points are small, they do not rely on the work points to make a living.
If you don't have money, you can use wild animals to make money and food.
